Production Best Practices & Tips
Adopt best practices for security, reliability, and cost optimization when running Kubernetes in production.
Production Best Practices Intro
Running applications in production on Kubernetes requires more than just deploying them. It demands careful planning for security, reliability, and cost efficiency.
In this lesson, we'll explore key best practices to ensure your applications thrive in a production environment.
Principle of Least Privilege
A cornerstone of security is the Principle of Least Privilege. This means giving users, applications, and services only the minimum permissions necessary to perform their tasks.
- RBAC Roles: Define granular RBAC Roles and RoleBindings.
- Service Accounts: Assign specific Service Accounts to Pods, rather than using the default, and link them to minimal roles.
Avoid giving broad administrative access where it's not absolutely required.
